Establishes grant program for school districts to develop in-district special education programs and services.
The bill directs the Commissioner of Education to establish a grant program for school districts to develop in-district special education programs and services. The program aims to provide start-up funds to reduce the need to place classified students out-of-district and lower associated costs. Grant recipients will be selected based on the quality of their proposed programs and their potential to reduce out-of-district placements. The commissioner must submit a report to the Governor and the Legislature evaluating the program's effectiveness and recommending its continuation.
